Music has a special way of touching our lives, offering comfort, joy, and a path to understanding ourselves better. My project, “What Music Are You Listening To Now?” dives into this idea, exploring music’s role in mental health and personal growth, especially for college students. This eBook combines research with practical activities to show how music can support our well-being.
The eBook is designed to be interactive, filled with quizzes and exercises that invite you to think about your own musical preferences and how they affect your mood and thinking. It’s based on solid studies from the fields of music therapy and psychology, aiming to make these insights accessible to students. By discussing theories like Self-Determination and Maslow’s Hierarchy, but in simple terms, the eBook looks at why we’re drawn to music and how it meets our emotional and psychological needs. It’s all about making connections between the music we love and our daily lives, encouraging everyone to see music as more than just background noise.
“What Music Are You Listening To Now?” isn’t just another academic text; it’s a guide to understanding the deeper impact of the playlists we choose. It’s meant to be a conversation starter about the power of music in our lives, offering a mix of science and personal reflection that I hope will resonate with readers.
So, let’s talk about the music that moves us and discover more about its healing power together.
